"Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops, like bishops, and your religious act like religious." - Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, 1972

Fuck you CCOG, Laity,Tim Rohr,Chuck Whitey,Lou Klitzkie & Richard Untalan. You DO NOT represent all Catholics in Guam! Because of your fucken mess we can't afford to send our children to Catholic School. Eat shit. Thanks to you Byrnes. Your garbage, bring back our chamorro bishop!

@ 9:54pm did you cry out when Adrian and the Neos gave free tuition to mission families while the rest of us busted ass scraping the bottom of the barrel just so we can send our children to a Catholic school?

Imagine a family of 4 children at maybe $500 a month x10 (family plan)=5000 a school year FREE tuition. How many mission families are here? There are more than 10 mission families here with children. Add it up you fool! Tell No balls in Canada to pay for your tuition. Tell your Chamorro bishop to ask kimchee to pay your tuition.

At anon 2:06.... "are" bishop? Doesn't sound like a Chamorru writing that and I'm chamorru. Sounds more like a wanna be RMS IDIOT that thinks he's an islander. As for his brother tony, that knucklehead doesn't belong in the archbishop seat. He's ruined this island and it's people. But hey, you can have him at your house so he can take care and teach your kids if you believe him so much. Show us how much faith you have in brother tony by letting him into your house with your children.

Again, the rotten, rotten fruit of the NCW continue to be the best example of why everyone should steer clear of their "Joy". They can only fight with vulgarity. They have nothing else to defend their beloved pedophile bishop because he is morally indefensible. I am Chamoru and just because I share the same ethnicity with this man, it is not a reason to defend him. That's such idiotic reasoning but from reading the posts with the vulgar words and elementary grammar, I understand. Such imbeciles. Apurun can stay in the bay area for the rest of his life for all I care, just as long as families with young boys are made aware of his pedophile presence. In fact, I hope he never steps foot on this island ever again unless it's to appear in court.

I'm truly grateful for all the work Tim Rohr, LFM, CCOG and everyone else has done to show the island AND THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD the filth that is the NCW. And I welcome AB Byrnes' efforts to clean up 30 years of trash, mayhem, destruction, disorder, immorality, transgression, malfeasance, oh...the list goes on but I'll stop there lest these NCW commenters get frustrated trying to figure out the meaning of all these words!

None of the native Guamanian Chamorros I know in the US are sewer-mouth Neocat apes like the one raving here. All of them are well educated, respectable Catholics who hate Apuron's guts. They're not crazy about Guam either.

@6:11 all my kids WENT AMD GRADUATED from private schools all on my own income and not because of some fraudulent scheme the RMS neofamilies concocted to scam the HARD EARNED money we donated in church thinking it would be used for our church but was MISMANAGED by your brother tony. Some of us know how to work hard and value our earnings but are willing to give up some of it for our church and not for a select greedy few.

As for representing idiots like you who THINK your Catholic, you're right, we don't represent idiots like you who praise pedophile brothers like Tony' and are hypocrites because knuckleheads like you are afraid to put him in your own house with your kids.

Although he tries very hard to hide the fact, the truth is that Apurun is actually Filipino. So much for Chamorro. Although he may speak the language, he is not your Chamorro bishop.Apurun is gone and we got a bishop who is honest and ready to fix the problems created by Apurun. You don't have to be local to fix problems, just willing to do what is right, and not what is personally profitable. Sadly, Apurun was only about his own wealth and the benefit of his neo-cult friends. And most of those were US or European. Mostly, Apurun stole from "his Chamorro" people.

Racial or national origin has nothing to do with integrity because the circumstances of our birth are mere accidental nature. What matters is integrity of heart which sits at the core of who we really are. Yes, there is more expectation from a native son but if that local person is unable to detach his personal issues with a position that demands much, then this person has no business being in that role. The Archbishop of Agana must be a holy man, a person with integrity and not easily given to personal impulses that run contrary to the values of the Catholic Church whom He represents. His power must be understood in the context of community service, as a servant of God who makes present the Holy and Mighty One.

Apuwrong may have Filipino blood, but when he went searching for his relatives in the Philippines, he could find no one who was related to him. Archbishop Flores also had Filipino blood, but he rarely spoke about it.

Really gutting to discover we bust our ass only to discover our kids have been taken over by a cult! forget about nice school and think about how to protect your kids. Name calling and bad language doesnt help or remove the threat! Chamorro or not only the truth will suffice.

My my my, oh dear, 6:35 PM, you are on a roll! What a colorful vocabulary you have, my dear! Who was your ESL instructor at RMS? Are you now the official spokesperson for the neos? You remind us of that fist-bumping moron from Brazil. And, pray tell, how can one be "omitted" from this island? In the lingua franca of the computer age, might it be more apt to use "deleted," or "beamed out," as a nod to Star Wars? Oh me, oh my...the fun never ends in this comedy of errors. And I thought they said it was "more fun in the Philippines"? Having a lot more fun here on Guam with the neos and the kikoboys.

Someone on the other block seems to be barking about the Cathedral finances and St Thimas Aquinas. Blaming, blaming, blaming.

Stupid dickhead should know that ANY school that is to be built over X amount of dollars, need to go through not only the approval of the AFC but also the Archbishop. Brother Tony approved the loan and the building of St. Thomas Aquinas. So blame your Chamorro AB Brother Tony for giving his blessings. Same goes for the Cathedral. ANY renovations over X amount of dollars needs the ABs approval.

This is not time to bicker and use cuss words to prove a point. The fact is that Apuron messed up this Archdiocese through no fault of the Faithful Catholics whom he relied to keep the programs going. He accommodated the NCW and formed RMS to a degree that clearly smelled favoritism. Do we really exoect the ordinary Catholics to just sit back like they did for 15 plus years while Apuron siphoned off meager church resources like it was his personal checkbook and used his position to bend over backwards (metaphorically and literally) to the extravagant whims of his NCW superiors? It was clearly not right, and his dipping into the cookie jar could have been classified as grand theft, blatant deception and malicious intent. It was good that the laypeople smelled a rat with its rancid/putrid machinations and attempted to take action. I understand it took great prodding, given the deference to clergy of this island residents, and it needed the leadership and research by brave individuals to start a vocal cry for justice and Truth. With obvious wrongdoing aided by equally deceptive church officials such as the Vicar General, the Business Manager and Chancellor, Apuron maintained a clueless demeanor and further aroused the ire of the Faithful by belligerently and arrogantly threatening to sue, instead of initiating a dialogue. Now, is this the normal behavior of a bishop who has vowed service to the people entrusted to his care? The sad thing is that he was revered as a local boy-made-good for many years, only to find out that beneath his raiments are selfish motives, a questionable past that involved child sexual abuse, and hatred for his colleagues in ministry. Then an opportunity comes along, sanctioned by the Holy Father himself, to bring about healing and unity, fiscal transparency and responsible stewardship through the efforts of Archbishop Byrnes, and some are thwarting his genuine desire to move forward? Yes, these demonstrations of gutter mentality and linguistic limitations are symptomatic of a threatened bloc fearing extermination. Look to the light, erase the plank in your eye! Viva, Jungle Watch Nation!!!

Yes, let Guam be a cautionary tale to those easily convinced by the deceptions of NCW. Aside from being stuck with the depravities and incompetence of neo presbyters, dioceses will get slapped with millions of dollars in lawsuits. Guam is bravely and slowly inching its way up to correct the grievous errors of Apuron. It will take so many years of pur lives instead of propelling the Archdiocese forward. No real change will happen unless Apuron gets unclawed and becomes unable to do further damage. Right now he is still inciting the neos to defend him. This is why we are getting horrid comments from the neokikos.

Government of Guam - watch out! Speculation is - you may be next. Now that the Neos have infiltrated our Guam's lawmaking body, a seed has been surreptitiously planted. We may be having "joyful celebrations" in years ahead. It took several years to infiltrate our church; maybe it may take time to infiltrate the government. Look forward to future resolutions to honor Guam's youngest archbishop, illiterate priests coming out of RMS, more fist-pumping heroes, stalwart deacons (dakons), pro-Neo government officials. Courage! Joy!

Our bishop isn't a pedophile that we know of, but the only time you see the cold, pretentious bastard is when he can get face time from the media. Apuron has company in that regard.

The suspected closet queen won't leave his $3 million+ residence without his pushy personal photographer and a professional bodyguard, both of whom are also disliked.

Always chauffeured by the ex-cop bodyguard, he never drives his own modest car like his predecessors did. The disgusted Faithful are stuck with paying for all of his Renaissance Roman shit while Catholic charities, social services and poor parishes go begging.

A jerk is good enough reason to do something. We started working to take Apuron out actually on this date, July 16, in 2013. THREE YEARS before we had any evidence of Apuron's criminal activity. His criminal past only surface after we spent hundreds of hours exposing him as a jerk. I guess your bishop isn't jerk enough for anyone to care. So if no one cares, why bring your trash here?

All I can say is that he's not a criminal like Apuron. I can guarantee that he is closely watched by some extremely wealthy and powerful locals from old Catholic families, and he knows it. He can't get away with anything significant.

Thankfully, we don't have the type of problems Guam does, so there's no need to go crazy over our old-fashioned fathead bishop. The laity here are country miles ahead of him.

LOL. I don't know your bishop, nor do I care to. All I know is that you are too cowardly to do anything but bitch on my blog about your problems. And if the laity in your diocese are anything like you then you deserve an Apuron. Such cowards we have in our church. COWARDS OUT!

We're neither cowardly nor stupid. You're the ones stuck with pervert Apuron, a bankrupt diocese that's being sold out from under you, a king's ransom in abuse lawsuits and terminal NCW infestation, not us. All we're dealing with is Our jerk bishop and he's being kept in his place.

Tim Rohr is an extremely insecure egomaniac who can't stand hearing about dioceses that are relatively well run and recovering from various disasters. Sour grapes.

Guam's complex Church fights haven't even begun, but those in the US were essentially over and done with long ago. Hey, Rohr! Since you claim to be an all-knowing insider, exactly where is Apuron hiding these days?

Tim, courage isn't an issue in our diocese because it was never on the edge of extinction like yours is. Most of the huge abuse settlements were quickly paid out of Court and our thriving seminaries are eminently sane.

The few Neos, Charismatics and other crazies here are held firmly under the chancery's thumb. Their heresies, itinerant clerics and liturgical atrocities were banned 30 years ago because mainstream Catholics wouldn't tolerate them. We were very successful in halting their incursion.

If tiny Guam becomes more trouble than It's worth, Rome can shut it down as an independent entity and make it either mission territory or a subsidiary of a functioning body elsewhere. It's so small that a wealthy archdiocese in Hawaii or the Philippines could easily oversee it. Bp. Byrnes would get a red hat and a one-way ticket to the Vatican for his futile efforts. All Guam would need is an administrative office to handle routine local business.

Apuron did a scorched earth number on the island for 30 years but none of you self-ordained messiahs noticed his filthy perversions and international financial rackets. I wish you well but there really isn't much, if anything, left to work with.

LOL. Shithead here doesn't think Guam is worth anything but he keeps coming back to my blog. LOL. I love making slaves of these people. Just watch. He'll be back to respond. Coward shitheafs are all the same. Courage.

Four long years, since we started our little struggle here on Guam, which has had some quite large ripple effect across our pond and all the way to Rome.As I have often stated, it will take years to clean up the mess left by Apuron and his minions.It will take the laity to work hard with whomever is courageous enough among our clergy.People are not rushing forward to volunteer.

One thing that is constant, and really has not changed much during these 4 years, is the sheer level of idiocy and arrogance from the Neos.The viciousness of their attacks is only matched by the shallowness of their faith. For them, it is all about power,money and power again.They have bought their way as they went around the island, as they did in Rome.Do not be deceived, they are relentless in that quest for power. It is almost sickening to observe.Right now they have retired behind the walls of the RMS, waiting for signals from the Putrid and Genarrini Inc, the other New Jersey mafia.They sortie once in a while to show their disdain for our new Archbishop.False promises, lies, disobedience," but please do not judge us."

Some of the wandering presbyters are back on island, certainly awaiting the summer arrival of their guru from NJ. Yet none of them has checked in at the chancery. They do not even have the courtesy to salute the acting Bishop.

This shows the depth of their arrogance.Luis the licker, some of the other suspects are going around the island,like nothing has ever happened.

Almost 40 missionary families are residing at RMS, rent free, to add to the 30 plus presbyters, teachers and seminarians of RMS.Life is good for the Neos.

One thing, my old teacher reminded us daily, I shall share with them: "watch out for the wrath of God" He is always watching,specially when we don't pay attention

When will the listing of non-essential properties of the Archdiocese go official? That way the Accion Hotel gets advertised for entrepreneurs eager to capitalize on a unique high-value real estate at a much-discounted rate than the comps elsewhere. Of course, it will require some exorcism to purge the bad juju but it is quite easy to scare off the neoghosts.
